In a bold move to enhance fiscal transparency and plug persistent revenue leakages, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has launched a six-month Revenue Recovery Exercise in partnership with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The initiative, which engages professional consultants to identify and recover unremitted revenues across key sectors, marks a renewed effort to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s fiscal governance and rebuild public confidence in financial accountability.<\/p>\n
Speaking recently at the flag-off ceremony in Abuja, Mr. Mohammed Shehu, <\/strong>Chairman of RMAFC, described the initiative as \u201ca deliberate, result-oriented innovation\u201d that aligns with President Bola Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda. According to him, the programme is not merely an administrative routine but a strategic intervention designed to ensure every recoverable naira due to the federation is transparently remitted.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is about plugging leakages, enhancing transparency, and empowering the fiscal capacity of all three tiers of government,\u201d Shehu said. \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of governance integrity and national trust.\u201d<\/p>\n On his part, Dr. <\/strong>Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of FIRS, represented by Shettima Tamadi, Coordinating Director, reaffirmed the service\u2019s commitment to working hand-in-hand with RMAFC to bridge Nigeria\u2019s revenue gap. \u201cWith stronger collaboration between agencies and partners, we can achieve sustainable fiscal growth and strengthen the nation\u2019s economic base,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n For the consultants engaged, the exercise is more than a technical assignment\u2014it\u2019s a national responsibility. Speaking on their behalf, Temitayo Ojeleke pledged professionalism and transparency, emphasizing that the goal is measurable impact.<\/p>\n \u201cThis engagement is a national call to duty,\u201d Ojeleke noted. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to producing results that reinforce public trust and fiscal discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n The RMAFC Secretary, Joseph Okechukwu, underscored the six-month timeline as crucial for the prompt return of recovered funds to the federation account, saying the recovered revenues would be instrumental in supporting national development priorities.<\/p>\n StakeBridge IRPR\u2019s Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n At StakeBridge IRPR Consulting Limited, this development underscores the power of strategic communication and cross-institutional collaboration in achieving national goals. For initiatives like this to succeed, stakeholders – government, consultants, and the public – must share a unified narrative built on trust, transparency, and accountability.<\/p>\n Effective stakeholder engagement and investor-focused communication will not only strengthen fiscal recovery but also inspire confidence among local and international investors who seek clarity and credibility in Nigeria\u2019s governance structures.<\/p>\n The RMAFC-FIRS partnership serves as a timely example of how purpose-driven communication and strategic alignment can transform fiscal policy into measurable impact-one recoverable naira at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a bold move to enhance fiscal transparency and plug persistent revenue leakages, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has launched a six-month Revenue…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[26,36],"tags":[154,157,152,79,87,153,156,104,155,114],"class_list":["post-644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-governance-accountability","category-policy","tag-accountability","tag-firs","tag-fiscalgovernance","tag-investorconfidence","tag-nigeriaeconomy","tag-revenuerecovery","tag-rmafc","tag-stakebridgeirpr","tag-strategiccommunication","tag-transparency"],"yoast_head":"\n
